Ojai Pool Cleaning

Sparkling Pools 
Get the sparkle in your pool with our advance service program. We offer the best pool cleaning service in the Ojai Valley. Not all pool service techs are the same. You won't see us rushing in and out of your home. All of our techs are asked to allow enough time to service our pools properly and we never overload our techs with too many pools that they sacrifice your pools quality.  Regular pool maintenance vs pool service. Pool maintenance is insuring that all the components that keep your pool clean are working such as pool pump, plumbing, heater, filter and seals. We do visual inspections, listen to the pumps working, and test the water regularly to make sure all of the components are working in unison.  Pool Service is the weekly upkeep of the water in your pool, cleaning the baskets, skimming the surface, adding chemicals and cleaning your filter. It is important to perform weekly service and regularly maintain your swimming pool. You will save hundreds maybe thousands of dollars if you commit to a regular schedule. 
Chemical Balance

Knowing what chemicals to use and the correct amounts is vital to a clean germ free swimming pool. We have over 40 yrs of experience and know exactly what your pool needs and how much. Chemicals and time are our highest expense and we will not short change you with chemicals, we will always add the proper amount to keep your pool from turning yellow or green. Chemical balance is much more important than what some people think. Without a proper balanced swimming pool it is impossible to keep the pool clean or sparkling, too much chlorine makes the pool water smell and like chlorine, most skin won't tolerate chlorine and you and your family will develop skin rash and your nose will also get irritated. If you add too much conditioner the chlorine will be ineffective.  These are just a couple of points that you need to keep in mind when hiring a pool service company. Ojai Pool Service techs are experienced and know how to balance your water.

Commercial Pool Service
We service commercial accounts and understand the value of a swimming pool in a hotel, gym or association. We know these pool get a lot of use and need frequent monitoring. We will tailor a schedule to accommodate the needs of your swimming pool and dedicate the time necessary to insure that your pool is ready for your guests or members. Our techs are available for emergency calls if you ever need something taken care of right way. We also recommend that you do all necessary repairs, upgrades and equipment changes during slow season. Most commercial swimming pools slow down during the winter season, unless the pool is indoors, most pools shut down or slow down considerably during this time. Because these pools get so much use it is important to do as much maintenance as possible during this time.  Give us a call if you need service in your commercial pool in the Ojai Valley. We'd love to keep your clients swimming all year round if your facility offers year round swimming pool service. 

Acid Wash Process

How to Avoid an Acid Wash
The first thing we need to tell you is that an Acid Wash for your swimming pool can cost you between $450.00 to $1,000 depending on size of the pool and how bad it is. The best way to avoid an acid wash is by regularly cleaning and servicing your swimming pool. In order for a pool to require acid wash it would have to have been neglected for a long period of time, we're talking months. This happens when homes are lost to foreclosure, there's divorce cases when no one wants to pay for the care of the pool or a house simply gets abandoned.  Although we have had cases where people live in a house and they just let the pools go, not sure why, we never ask, we just take care of it when they call us.  Your swimming pool water will start to turn murky and cloudy when there are no chemicals left. Germs begin to grow and insects begin to lay eggs in the water, your water filter can only clean the water so far, it requires chemical to prevent it from getting green and growing algae. If your swimming pool is surrounded by trees and vegetation, that can contribute to the deterioration of the water, debris falls in the water dirt and other insects from the vegetation will speed the algae process. You'll notice that most pool cleaners skim the top of the pool with a net to remove leaves and other debris that falls in your pool, they also empty the baskets that catch the debris while the pump is cycling your pool water. These are important steps as all debris brings bacteria to your pool water and the accumulation will create the perfect system for bacteria to thrive.  So to recap, lack of chemicals and debris that falls in your pool are the chief cause of pools turning green. The longer your swimming pool stay green the algae penetrates to the pores of your gunite or pebble tech requiring acid wash to kill the bacteria that penetrated your pool surface.  At Ojai Pool Service we do our best to avoid and prevent you form needing an acid wash. We perform weekly pool cleaning and maintenance, bi-weekly and include all the chemicals needed to maintain your pool sparkling all year round.
